SPEAKING OF ELEPHANT GARDEN STOOLS....

Life is just weird. I've come to be a true believer in the idea that if you put something out to the universe, the universe will answer. Hopefully it is the answer you are looking for. Yesterday morning I did a post on Chinoiserie garden stools and how I was specifically obsessing over the elephant version. Shortly after, I receive an email from a neighbor asking me if I had been to the estate sale in our neighborhood because it was full of items from the 60s/70s that I might be interested in. She forewarned me that "digging" would be involved. Since I had no knowledge of said estate sale (I'm off my game), I hopped in the car to check it out. She was right. Let's just say this person had a collecting problem and not the good kind. After doing an initial once over and seeing nothing of interest, I decided to do a more thorough inspection of the back room that was piled high. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a trunk sticking up out of the pile. I hurried over and pulled back the boxes to unearth a very cool vintage elephant garden stool. THANK YOU UNIVERSE!

Here's a quick look at my current selection. Don't you need one of these under your tree? Have a great weekend everyone!

Gogo – derives from the phrase "go-go-go" for a high-energy person, and was influenced by the French expression à gogo, meaning "in abundance, galore", which is in turn derived from the ancient French word la gogue for "joy, happiness" .
